Brazilian-born midfielder Casemiro was the hero for Real Madrid as they overcame LaLiga opponents Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu on January 18, 2019. Los Blancos looked like they were heading towards a draw after Luuk de Jong cancelled out Casemiro's opener in the 63rd minute.
Casemiro was assisted by a sublime backheel pass from Luka Jovic to score the opening goal of the game. Five minutes after Sevilla equalised, Casemiro was at it again and he found the back of the net from a Lucas Vazquez pass.
